Default I have astigmatism, can I get lasik eye surgery? - 12-28-2008, 01:22 AM

How old do you have to be? What other alternatives are there, besides glasses, contacts, and lasik eye surgery? I'd like something permanant. How long does it take for it to heal? Are there serious risks during the procedure? If I can't get lasik eye surgery done, what's the problem? Sorry about all the questions, feel free to give me as much information as you can because I'm pretty sure I'm missing something that I'll want to know later . .

Don't do it. Wait 10 years until they come out with something else. Research all the horror stories, too. They don't tell you about the risks or complications that may develope, you figure in 3 days to a week? NO, they could develope later on down the line. Nothing is permanent! Your probably looking good enough in those sexy specs!!! I don't trust doctors, period.

you have to be old enough so your eyes are done changing. i have astigmatism and got lasik. worked fine. couple days and things are better. struggle with dry eyes for 6 months. nothing eyedrops cant take care of though. the surgen will do tests to make sure your are an ideal candidate. if you are not DONT DO IT. the dr. told me i had a 95% chance of getting out of glasses. go to someone who has done a lot of surgeries. dont go to the cheapest one.
